Erwan Sene  - JUnQ
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 131
Release Date: 14 April 2023
Purchase: PAN.lnk.to/JUnQ

JUnQ, or the Journal of Unsolved Questions, is modeled on a parallel exercise: to sketch music and to score sculptures. Part exhibition, part book and part album release, JUnQ seeks to propose a collaborative language that binds the algorithmic needs of an artificial pop star to the performance of the artist himself. Boundaries between reality and artifice are blurred in a continuous chain of confrontation and sublimation, wherein a romance between analog evolution and digital experimentation is born.

The immersive project released by PAN represents Erwan Sene’s debut album and the multifaceted nature of his approach. Composed like a chorus of fantastical beasts, the album wanders atmospherically through a fogged wood. Sounds are never used for their default function–– they are sculpted, distorted and amplified, becoming hybrids of themselves. A haunting banshee, the monstrous growl of an Orc, Siren songs wafting through the trees–– these and more are recreated with sinuous violins, muffled harpsichord and digital instruments, culminating in a a vibrant “jungle” of sound.

Erwan Sene - Siren (PAN 131)

hyperreality

Whisky soaked, nocturnal, brooding. Aging’s album ‘Troubles? I Got A Bartender’ was a noteworthy, film-noir infused suite that quietly slipped out on cassette in 2015 by a then budding Manchester avant-jazz ensemble, led by David McLean.

In 2020, amidst the pandemic’s tempest and winter's gloom, the idea manifested of showcasing McLean’s slow burning, wistful soirée in a new light via a curated effort

by Berlin’s Vaagner label, which invited a series of hand-picked artist to rework selected compositions from the album, rendering its mournful, smoke-tinged resonances into new shapes.

Showcased here, is one of these efforts, by Manchester based Craig Tattersall aka A Humble Bee.

"And here is our big compilation on the theme "How I spent this summer" - from sitting in bushes and among computers to all sorts of traveling across seas, cities and towns. The Fuselab scene at Signal festival was the starting point of this compilation, which on its way to your ears brought together all of us who saw summer and wanted to tell a little bit about it. As we can see, the summer was different for everyone, but how could it be otherwise: the geography is wide. But winter is close, so it's time to remember pleasant summer evenings. Pleasant trips."

March of the Inanimate – Repossessed
Release Date: August 24, 2016
© 2016 Keith Richie

March of the Inanimate – Repossessed is a dark, cinematic soundscape that delves into obsession, mortality, and the supernatural. This reimagined and remastered edition of the original 2014 release expands the sonic narrative with new tracks and enhanced production—immersing the listener in a chilling audio experience.

A man, obsessed with defying death, steps into a long-abandoned home to retrieve a rumored artifact said to hold the key to immortality. But what he finds is not salvation… it is something far more sinister. As ancient forces awaken, his soul teeters on the edge of annihilation, pursued by horrors that march without mercy or sight.

This definitive edition draws inspiration from the atmospheric dread of classic horror soundtracks, particularly the works of John Carpenter and Alan Howarth. Through dark-electro pulses, suspenseful piano motifs, and immersive textures, Repossessed captures the mood of unearthed terror and psychological descent.

Now featuring three additional tracks and a fully remastered mix, March of the Inanimate – Repossessed stands as both a love letter to vintage horror scores and an original journey into the heart of sonic fear.

Critical Praise:

“Musically menacing, to say the very least. This opus incorporates haunting piano melodies and a deep intensity through its pulsing rhythms… it fits right into the gritty underworld of horror-movie-mania.”
— Jer@SBS, Sleeping Bag Studios

“Keith Richie has a way with electronic music—it rarely sounds synthetic. Here, he explores sonic storytelling beyond the confines of pop structure… an invitation to imagine films that don’t yet exist.”
— Robbie Tee, Jamsphere
